What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Accurate anatomical assessment is essential for precise pulmonary segmentectomy. We report a robotic left S10 segmentectomy in a 72-year-old woman in whom the initial three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) reconstruction showed no pulmonary artery accompanying B9bii and focal irregularity of A10b. Re-evaluation of the contrast-enhanced CT images revealed a small A9bii arising from A10b that had not been depicted on the initial reconstruction. Manual correction of the 3D-CT images clarified the arterial anatomy and guided surgical planning. A lung base-flip approach provided a favorable caudal view of the deep A10b-A9bii bifurcation, enabling identification and preservation of A9bii. This case highlights the importance of recognizing anatomical discrepancies on reconstructed images, reassessing the CT images, and selecting an appropriate surgical approach to preserve anomalous pulmonary arterial branches.
